Answer 1

2.86 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Megan uses a pedometer to find how many steps she takes each school day. she took 32,410 steps over the course of 5 days.

`\text{Steps per day}=(32410)/(5)`

`\text{Steps per day}=6482`

`\text{Inches in 6482 steps}=6482* 28`

`\text{Inches in 6482 steps}=181496`

1 feet = 12 inches.

`\text{Feet in 6482 steps}=(181496)/(12)`

`\text{Feet in 6482 steps}=15124.666666`

`\text{Miles in 6482 steps}=(15124.666666)/(5280)`

`\text{Miles in 6482 steps}=2.8645`

`\text{Miles in 6482 steps}\approx 2.86`

Therefore, Megan walks 2.86 miles on Monday.
